To" a close observer' Mr. Hosmer's complete con- ^trol oMiis company ..was very evident. Lucia Nola, in th* leading roll of Isabel!' proved,herself a singer of high' rank. She is tbe possessor of a very clear," sweet voice, which won fcr lier a well deserved encore for her very'touching rendition of the solo, in the Boon. song.

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and G. G. Meikle |
Date Issued | 1905-12-13 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
